Thanks Audeo. We love banana bread but we've never made it. We always buy it at specialty bakeshops here that have excellent banana bread. However, if this recipe is the best one ever in your opinion, I will surely try it! I hope it's moist too because that's how we like it!

I just may try your recipe one day it sounds wunderbar, but my DH may take me to the trash if I ever alter his Banana Bread. I use my mommy's recipe and well, he says there is nothing else like it. I alternate between walnuts, ch.chips and nothing....all ways it is still good!

Warning! I made Audeo's banana bread recipe. It came out very moist, and with good banana flavor. I did make an alteration to the recipe, as I didn't have one of the ingredants available to me at the time. I substituted hulled sunflower seeds for the walnuts. Teh sunflower seeds were good, but overpowered the rich banana flavor somewhat. I believe this recipe would have been incredible, sans the sunflower seeds. And we all know that walnuts, or even pecans, go well in most quickbreads. They lend a subtle flavor and wonderful texture, whereas the sunflower seeds flavor permeated the end product.

Be careful what you substitue in recipes. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they don't. On the other hand, my wife loved the flavor more than if they had the walnuts. I didn't. Jsut goes to show that we all have differing tates.
